I remember a couple of years ago the weather man was predicting a particularly bad snowstorm. The day before wasn’t bad at all, calm and sunny. But the weather man said it was going to change big time. The day before the storm schools announced they were closing, supermarket shelves went bare and tire dealers worked overtime.

Meteorologists are trained to predict weather changes. High-tech measuring instruments, satellite imagery, and modern communications systems make it much easier for people to get severe weather warnings and make plans accordingly.

And when people believe a warning, they take steps to prepare. Believing the warning is the key. When people really believe, they take action.

If we really believe the warnings given us in the Bible, we will take action to change our paths accordingly. I believe there is a storm coming in our spiritual lives. And I plan to be ready. How about you?
